SHANNARO!!! Manga Chapter XII – Fear Of Height

Warning: You may see completely illogical humor, statements that make absolutely no sense, famous humorous quotes, linkings to famous literary works and other stuff not mentioned here.
Chaos and White Shinobi can not be held responsible for your reactions after reading this blog… which we presume can have spontanious malevolent effects on you… as a need for killing the respective authors, for wasting your time…
That being said… Enjoy!

…everything is happening so fast, is the KuroGyouten so unprepared that it can be taken out by a bunch of kids ? …do they have something greater in store for the Shadow Country’s Ninja…
or maybe they have just underestimated their opponents… as corny as it sounds… only time holds the answer… or does it ?

::The scene changes to the Genkage Squad::

Grand_Hokage: Are we there yet?
Sothe: No… that’s the 7th time you’ve asked… we’ll be there sooner or later…
Grand_Hokage: So… I reckon we’re not there yet ?
Silver_Uchiha: Great… a genius…
Grand_Hokage: Why, you little!
Iruka: Shut up, you’re making me crazy !
White Shinobi: You both stop it, or i’ll break the wall and throw you out.
Grand_Hokage: Fine, ‘jeez … ‘don’t have to get all tense…

::They walk into a thick type of smoke::

Silver-Uchiha: I suspect trouble up ahead…

::A clapping sound::
...they hear a macabre voice: Hahaha…

Iruka: These guys are too predictable…
Grand Hokage trembles: Wha’… wha’ … what was …that !?
J-sama: Okay… that was scary… ::personal thoughts:: not as scary as the “Teletubbies” though… they’re pure evil I tell ya… EVIL !

Bob-sama: Wait…who ?
Chaos: Are they some sort of Ninjas?
J-sama: Uh… well… nevermind

::the macabre voice keeps laughing::

Chaos: Okay… not that I wouldn’t like to waste time… but you would really save us the effort of having to deal with you…
Voice: So… fuu… shasen…

Bob-sama: …stand on your positions…

Voice: …no Tachi…

::a kunai flies to Silver Uchiha’s head but White Shinobi pushes her out of the way::
White Shinobi: WHAT THE HELL DID I TEACH YOU KIDS !?
J-sama: Yo, chill… chill…
White Shinobi: I’M NOT YELLING !!!
Chaos: That’s my line, damnit…
J-sama: Let’s see who this “voice” is… shall we ? ::Ranpu Uwadzutsumi no Jutsu::

::The Smoke Quickly Disperses::

The smoke does fade away… but the one “hiding” behind the voice is nowhere to be seen…

Chaos: Yeah… that really cleared up things…
J-sama: Like it’s my fault he’s hiding ?

Voice: Honestly… you really think I would leave myself exposed? I’m one step in front of you…
Sothe: Shut it, Hamlet…
Voice: Nobody respects the villain anymore …
Iruka: Who’s Hamlet?
Grand_Hokage: I find this situation extremely confusing…

Bob-sama: We have to press on… who knows how much time we have left… We have to leave another team behind… so we can press on…
J-sama: This is fragmenting our initial team even more…
Bob-sama: I can’t waste time… and who knows how much time we’ll waste on this clown…
Voice: I get no respect…
J-sama: But we can waste lives… I agreed at first… but this is getting out of hand… who knows what happened to the other teams … your logic…
Bob-sama: And my logic what ? Do you think that I don’t know what’s going on… do you think I’ve lost my mind ? DO YOU !?
J-sama: I just think you should reconsider…
Bob-sama: No… the Kurogyouten are probably at the top right now… I have no more time…

*short moment of silence*

Chaos: But what if that’s what they want?
White Shinobi: Where are you getting at?
Chaos: They’ve specifically cut through our initial team… the large formation we had when we left…
Sothe: …and?
Chaos: They’ve set out different Kurogyouten members, at different places…
Sothe: The entrance to the Energy Tower… and the cliffs surrounding it’s base
White Shinobi: The large hallway on the first level…
Chaos: …The Kurogyouten is fragmenting us… united we stand strong… divided we stand weak… and they can pick us one by one…in this case three by three.

Voice: I’m sorry I am interrupting your little chat, gents … but, I have people to kill… orders to follow…

Iruka: Genkage-sama, Sensei, we’ll take care of him…
White Shinobi: I… will leave it to Genkage-sama, to take a decision…
Bob-sama: Chaos might be right… but, I have always lived in a militaristic environment… it’s not always the numbers that bring you victory…
Sothe: True, but… we are falling in a trap… and it’s even worse when you know you are, and do nothing about it…
Bob-sama: There is also the strategy of always keeping your enemies on the run.
J-sama: But these guys want us to follow them…
Bob-sama: It’s always the same… if we can match their speed… we can strike them swiftly…
Chaos: But only by stealth…
Sothe: I really don’t understand…
Chaos: It’s actually counter-attack…
J-sama: Yes, they keep running until we find a vulnerable point in their defense…
White Shinobi: Exhaustion and frustration set in… they put themselves in unfavorable situations…
Bob-sama: At the right moment we charge… but until then, we use stealth…
Sothe: But what if they let another Kurogyouten member behind… we split up again ?
Bob-sama: This time, we can’t waste either time, or any member of the squad… so we’ll have to be as stealthy as possible, and as fast as possible, so they think they’ve lost us or so…
J-sama: And then they lose in speed…
Bob-sama: And we catch them…

J-sama: But now, we can’t waste time… let’s leave Team 1 to handle this…
Chaos: We must be as fast as possible, and we’re losing time…
White Shinobi: And… we’d lose significant speed if he’s on our tails…
Bob-sama: Therefore we must leave, Team 1 can handle this…
White Shinobi: Agreed, I have faith in my team…

Voice: Honestly, all that effort…
Silver Uchiha: I agree, we can take him on…
White Shinobi: Take this scroll, Grand Hokage…
Grand Hokage: A summoning scroll ?
Iruka: A blood summoning scroll… a strong type of summon.. but you have to use it as a last resort, and offer both chakra and blood to your summon to work…

::The Genkage’s Squad takes off at a fast pace::

Voice: So… i’m left with you… it’s good that I don’t have a conscience…
Iruka: Is that so… well than… those who die, deserve to know who their killers are…
Voice: Haha… that is so true… i have no intention to tell you who I am… but it would do no harm… and it’s the honorable thing to do…
Silver Uchiha: You speak of Honor?
Voice: I am Hawk… professional assassin… I don’t need to know who you are… since it is I who’s going to do the killing!

Grand Hokage: It would be easier to fight you if you would have the courage to show yourself on the floor…
Hawk: It would… but, I have my way… Dai Kamaitachi no Jutsu !

Iruka pushes Grand Hokage out of the way, while Silver Uchiha blocks the jutsu…
Iruka: Damnit… be more careful…

Hawk: Well well, you think you’re strong, eh ?
Grand Hokage: Actually, you don’t seem that strong, either…

Hawk: This is just the top of the mountain… and there’s a long way down…
Iruka: Why don’t you bring the whole mountain then ?
Silver Uchiha: Don’t underestimate him guys… Sensei always told us to be on our toes…always!
Hawk: Let’s quit the talk…
Iruka: …and get to the action !
Hawk: Be carefull what you wish for…

:::Hawk steps out of the shadows, and charges with a kunai, but Iruka evades:::

Hawk: You’re pretty fast.
Iruka: It’s you who is slow…
Hawk: *grin* you’ve got guts, kid… I’ll give you that.

Hawk immediately appears behind Grand Hokage and hits him… but it was a Kawarimi…
Hawk: I just hate evasive techniques… Dai Kamatachi !

This time, Team 1 easily gets out of harm’s way…
Hawk: …it seems like i’ll finally be able to enjoy a fight…

Grand Hokage: Why do you think it will work a second time?
Silver Uchiha: *thinking to herself* …Something is wrong… why does he use the same jutsu… when he knows we’ll just dodge it…
Iruka: It looks like we don’t have to spill too much chakra on this guy.

Hawk: …Hmm!? You can’t hear it? Young Grasshopper?
Iruka: …!?
Hawk: Damnit… I mixed my script… I’m starring in a remake of some old show…
Grand Hokage: That’s cool… i’ve always wanted to act in a TV series… *nice guy pose* Doesn’t this look cool ?

Hawk: Well, if you wanna play in a Jackie Chan movie…
Silver Uchiha: To be or not to be… this is the question…
Iruka: I was thinking of playing in Hamlet…but it kinda messed up my schedule so…

*behind the set*

Chaos: CUT !!!
White Shinobi: What the hell are you guys doing ?
Chaos: Yeah… we’re not paying you to sit around and talk about Jackie Chan, grasshoppers or Hamlet!
Silver Uchiha: Actually… you’re not paying us at all…
Chaos: Well…you see… the contract said, “Non-Profit”

Iruka: I told you guys we should read the damn contract… but you said no, it’s a great opportunity…
Grand Hokage: I guess we rushed a little… heh…yeah…
Iruka: THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS !!!
White Shinobi: Damn it… Chaos… you should’ve shut up about the salaries…
Chaos: ‘Jeez… how’s this… If you get the chapter done… White Shinobi will treat us to Barbeque !
White Shinobi: Wait, WHAT !?
Hawk: Well, i am kinda’ hungry…
White Shinobi: Wait… i didn’t agree to…
Chaos: See, he can’t wait to treat us to BBQ!
White Shinobi: No, no i…
Chaos: Shoosh!
White Shinobi: Yeah, but…
Chaos: Shoosh!

*back on the set*

Hawk: Fuuton: Dai Kamatachi no jutsu !
Team 1 dodges it again… effortlessly…

Silver Uchiha looks at the damaged wall…

Silver Uchiha: Exactly my thoughts… he isn’t aiming for us…
Grand Hokage: What do you mean ?
Silver Uchiha: Look at the wall…

Hawk: Damn kids…
Iruka: What are you trying to do !?
Hawk: …you don’t get it !?

:::Fuuton: Dai Kamatachi no jutsu:::
*the wall scatters to pieces*

Iruka: … What are you going to do now…this just cracked a hole in the wall…
Hawk: Look how high we are… the wind blows at a greater speed, and power… at this height…I’m a Wind user mostly… I can power up my wind attacks, I can blow you out of the tower…
Grand Hokage: Damn it…
Hawk: You asked for the whole mountain? Here it is !

:::Fuuton: Kazetatsumaki:::
(END)

*notes from the authors: Phew… this was a long chapter…
-We just added some comic relief into it… every respectable series out there has one…Zep has some… so we thought of trying it ourselves… of course it kind of spaces out of the whole atmosphere, but we thought a change was needed… So we’ll ask you to vote for next installments… Comic relief (but only in some chapters)…. or without comic relief ?
We’ll read all of your comments, so please vote, and we will number the votes…
Thank you for bearing with us…

Now White Shinobi has to treat us to BBQ ! *

SHANNARO!!! Manga Chapter XI: “Our Strength”

Last time:

zabbuzathegreat: i’m tired of this! I will finish you quickly! Kizu Chiyu (Sea Of Fire)!!

::And as if water- fire seeped from the ground and started to rise up, swollowing everything in its’ path::
! the fire quickly spreads!

This time:

SHANNARO!!! Manga, Chapter XI: “Our Strength”

l Manga Ch1 l Manga Ch2 l Manga Ch3 l Manga Ch4 l
l Manga Ch5 l Manga Ch6 l Manga Ch7 l Manga Ch 8 l
l Manga Ch9 l Manga Ch10 l

:: The fire has been spreading and it’s engulphing everything in it’s path… Team 2 seem to have no escape… ::

How convenient, picking on the weak…You people have no honor!!!
:: a familiar voice shouts ::
:: the fire is mostly extinguished ::

ZabuzaTheGreat: *sigh* Damn It… why does everyone always have to step in… I am tired of this happening…
Mart: Zep, now!!!
ZepWolfX: that’s my queue… :grins: …Juurken !

Zabuzathegreat: You must be taking me for a fool… huh ?

…and he kicks ZepWolfX to the ground…

ZepWolfX wounded: Damn it… *kh-* …we can’t match him…

The shady ninja from before gets to lower ground trying to distract ZabuzaTheGreat; The Ninja attempts to attack ZabuzaTheGreat… the shinobi manages to avoid the attack…

Meanwhile, Darklurker and his team are whispering a plan…

ZepWolfX: I don’t think I can manage much… that last attack was more than enough for a ninja to call it quits…
Mart: I think this is a good plan… maybe we can manage something… if that ninja that is helping us out keeps distracting her…

Mart attacks with shurikens but ZabuzaTheGreat blocks them with a Great Fireball jutsu…
ZabuzaTheGreat: ah… Futile… all is futile…

…from behind, the shinobi attemps to strike him again… he dodges it… but DarkLurker attacks from wide range with Raiton in his sword… he manages to land a hit… a large amount of blood is flowing from ZabuzaTheGreat’s upper back…

ZabuzaTheGreat: …this hurts… I should give you props for actually landing a hit on me *sigh* for what it’s worth…

ZabuzaTheGreat attempts to heal himself, But ZepwolfX, even though wounded seriously… strikes him with Juurken, at an amazing speed…

ZabuzaTheGreat manages to heal himself but feels some internal pain: What have you done you brat !? *GHAH!!!* *blood coming out from his mouth

Mart: It worked !
Darklurker: He will not fall for the same trick twice; we need a new strategy…

ZabuzaTheGreat: *breathing heavily and wounded badly* I don’t know what you did… but this time… I will no longer play with you… I have to use my entire strength !!!
::: Katon: Karyuudan no Jutsu :::

Darklurker grins: Not the brightest fellow, are you !?
ZabuzaTheGreat: What?!

The unknown shinobi easily blocks it; Darklurker and Mart try to hit ZabuzaTheGreat; They are no match for him, and are easily brushed aside, but ZepwolfX lands another Juurken hit on him, and manages to stun him for awhile…

Mart and Darklurker send some kunais flying towards ZabuzaTheGreat… he wakes out of his unconcsiousness, and avoids the kunais… he also tries to heal himself… yet again.

ZepWolfX doesn’t leave him any breathing space and lands another Juurken, but this time ZabuzaTheGreat grabs his hand and sends him flying with a taijutsu kick…

ZabuzaTheGreat: This is it, you annoying brat… ::maniacal grin::
He jumps towards ZepWolfX and releases Katon Housenka no Jutsu… which fully hit ZepWolfX… he falls to the ground at a great speed…

Mart: No… no way… This can’t be !!!
Darklurker: Arrgh!!! … don’t worry… Zep is much stronger than you think !
Unknown Ninja: It doesn’t seem like he is waking up… and I think his vital signs are fading away…
ZabuzaTheGreat: Heh… that’s right… ::looks towards the remainder of ZepWolfX’s team:: … you are the next in line…

:: Don’t underestimate ME !!! ::

ZabuzaTheGreat looking back: What the heck !?

ZepWolfX stands up in incredible pain… but his life is hanging on by just a thread of hair…

ZabuzaTheGreat: I’ve had it with you… you should’ve stayed down… now…
…he doesn’t finish his sentence…

ZepwolfX: Oh… *u…gh…*.. this is…the… BYAKUGAN !!!

ZabuzaTheGreat: Byakugan… what is?..

…again… he doesn’t manage to finish his sentence, but ZepWolfX attacks him at a incredible speed, even though extremely wounded, ZabuzaTheGreat is only left stunned…

ZepWolfX here goes… my final attack :: Hakke Rokujuuyonshou ::

:: 2 palms… 4 palms… 8 palms… 16 palms… 32 palms… ::

ZabuzaTheGreat: GHAAAAAAH !!!!!

ZepWolfX: 8 Triagrams… 64 Palms !!!

ZabuzaTheGreat coughing up blood: Son of a… What did you do!? I can’t move!!!

Darklurker: FINISH HIM !!!

ZepWolfX in horrendous pain and exhaustion: I… can’t… :: falls to the ground ::

Unknown Shinobi: Damnit, kid… i’ll do it !!!

ZabuzaTheGreat: What… this is impossible… I won’t die… NOOOO!!!

Shinobi: Don’t worry… I will kill you swiftly ! :: and kills ZabuzaTheGreat with a slash to the heart ::

::silence befalls the team… an eerie sense of unease yet feeling of achievement overtakes the ninjas… until the silence is broken::

Mart: We killed a Kurogyouten !!!
DarkLurker: Why you have to yell so loud?! … Heh ::relief:: We couldn’t have managed without your help … Shinobi !?
Mart: But who are you !? ::looks over at the Unknown Ninja::

Unknown Ninja : All at it’s time… all in due time… now…get your fallen friend… I assure you he isn’t dead… and wait here…
Darklurker: Why wait? What if Zep’s condition worsenes…
Unknown Ninja: Team Spehiroth is on it’s way… they’ll be helping you when they reach this place … and your friend… I am a medical ninja… he’ll survive… to fight another day !

You may also be ambushed… so in a larger group you are safer… also don’t start to move out… until your friend recovers… which i think will be pretty soon…

Darklurker: Thank you for what you have done, Shinobi !
Unknown Shinobi: Darklurker… was it? You are a great strategist… and mart you are a good team worker… I have to say… I haven’t seen such team chemistry since…
Mart: Since?
Unknown Shinobi: *sigh*… I must be going now…

::: She takes off… and darkness soon sets… over the battlefield… a great victory for the Shadow Country… :::

:: The fire has been spreading and it’s engulphing everything in it’s path… Team 2 seem to have no escape… ::

How convenient, picking on the weak…You people have no honor!!!
:: a familiar voice shouts ::
:: the fire is mostly extinguished ::

ZabuzaTheGreat: *sigh* Damn It… why does everyone always have to step in… I am tired of this happening…
Mart: Zep, now!!!
ZepWolfX: that’s my queue… :grins: …Juurken !

Zabuzathegreat: You must be taking me for a fool… huh ?

…and he kicks ZepWolfX to the ground…

ZepWolfX wounded: Damn it… *kh-* …we can’t match him…

The shady ninja from before gets to lower ground trying to distract ZabuzaTheGreat; The Ninja attempts to attack ZabuzaTheGreat… the shinobi manages to avoid the attack…

Meanwhile, Darklurker and his team are whispering a plan…

ZepWolfX: I don’t think I can manage much… that last attack was more than enough for a ninja to call it quits…
Mart: I think this is a good plan… maybe we can manage something… if that ninja that is helping us out keeps distracting her…

Mart attacks with shurikens but ZabuzaTheGreat blocks them with a Great Fireball jutsu…
ZabuzaTheGreat: ah… Futile… all is futile…

…from behind, the shinobi attemps to strike him again… he dodges it… but DarkLurker attacks from wide range with Raiton in his sword… he manages to land a hit… a large amount of blood is flowing from ZabuzaTheGreat’s upper back…

ZabuzaTheGreat: …this hurts… I should give you props for actually landing a hit on me *sigh* for what it’s worth…

ZabuzaTheGreat attempts to heal himself, But ZepwolfX, even though wounded seriously… strikes him with Juurken, at an amazing speed…

ZabuzaTheGreat manages to heal himself but feels some internal pain: What have you done you brat !? *GHAH!!!* *blood coming out from his mouth

Mart: It worked !
Darklurker: He will not fall for the same trick twice; we need a new strategy…

ZabuzaTheGreat: *breathing heavily and wounded badly* I don’t know what you did… but this time… I will no longer play with you… I have to use my entire strength !!!
::: Katon: Karyuudan no Jutsu :::

Darklurker grins: Not the brightest fellow, are you !?
ZabuzaTheGreat: What?!

The unknown shinobi easily blocks it; Darklurker and Mart try to hit ZabuzaTheGreat; They are no match for him, and are easily brushed aside, but ZepwolfX lands another Juurken hit on him, and manages to stun him for awhile…

Mart and Darklurker send some kunais flying towards ZabuzaTheGreat… he wakes out of his unconcsiousness, and avoids the kunais… he also tries to heal himself… yet again.

ZepWolfX doesn’t leave him any breathing space and lands another Juurken, but this time ZabuzaTheGreat grabs his hand and sends him flying with a taijutsu kick…

ZabuzaTheGreat: This is it, you annoying brat… ::maniacal grin::
He jumps towards ZepWolfX and releases Katon Housenka no Jutsu… which fully hit ZepWolfX… he falls to the ground at a great speed…

Mart: No… no way… This can’t be !!!
Darklurker: Arrgh!!! … don’t worry… Zep is much stronger than you think !
Unknown Ninja: It doesn’t seem like he is waking up… and I think his vital signs are fading away…
ZabuzaTheGreat: Heh… that’s right… ::looks towards the remainder of ZepWolfX’s team:: … you are the next in line…

:: Don’t underestimate ME !!! ::

ZabuzaTheGreat looking back: What the heck !?

ZepWolfX stands up in incredible pain… but his life is hanging on by just a thread of hair…

ZabuzaTheGreat: I’ve had it with you… you should’ve stayed down… now…
…he doesn’t finish his sentence…

ZepwolfX: Oh… *u…gh…*.. this is…the… BYAKUGAN !!!

ZabuzaTheGreat: Byakugan… what is?..

…again… he doesn’t manage to finish his sentence, but ZepWolfX attacks him at a incredible speed, even though extremely wounded, ZabuzaTheGreat is only left stunned…

ZepWolfX here goes… my final attack :: Hakke Rokujuuyonshou ::

:: 2 palms… 4 palms… 8 palms… 16 palms… 32 palms… ::

ZabuzaTheGreat: GHAAAAAAH !!!!!

ZepWolfX: 8 Triagrams… 64 Palms !!!

ZabuzaTheGreat coughing up blood: Son of a… What did you do!? I can’t move!!!

Darklurker: FINISH HIM !!!

ZepWolfX in horrendous pain and exhaustion: I… can’t… :: falls to the ground ::

Unknown Shinobi: Damnit, kid… i’ll do it !!!

ZabuzaTheGreat: What… this is impossible… I won’t die… NOOOO!!!

Shinobi: Don’t worry… I will kill you swiftly ! :: and kills ZabuzaTheGreat with a slash to the heart ::

::silence befalls the team… an eerie sense of unease yet feeling of achievement overtakes the ninjas… until the silence is broken::

Mart: We killed a Kurogyouten !!!
DarkLurker: Why you have to yell so loud?! … Heh ::relief:: We couldn’t have managed without your help … Shinobi !?
Mart: But who are you !? ::looks over at the Unknown Ninja::

Unknown Ninja : All at it’s time… all in due time… now…get your fallen friend… I assure you he isn’t dead… and wait here…
Darklurker: Why wait? What if Zep’s condition worsenes…
Unknown Ninja: Team Spehiroth is on it’s way… they’ll be helping you when they reach this place … and your friend… I am a medical ninja… he’ll survive… to fight another day !

You may also be ambushed… so in a larger group you are safer… also don’t start to move out… until your friend recovers… which i think will be pretty soon…

Darklurker: Thank you for what you have done, Shinobi !
Unknown Shinobi: Darklurker… was it? You are a great strategist… and mart you are a good team worker… I have to say… I haven’t seen such team chemistry since…
Mart: Since?
Unknown Shinobi: *sigh*… I must be going now…

::: She takes off… and darkness soon sets… over the battlefield… a great victory for the Shadow Country… :::

…Time was passing by, but not enough to forget the fact that “The Secret Organization” was gaining terrain… what exactly were they up to… only as time passes can we tell… It seems to be a peaceful day in the Shannaro Village … something that didn’t happen very often these days… Team 1 is going to the Genkage’s Office to report on the status of the mission…

White Shinobi: “I see that you have awakened the Gofuuungan somehow… it took me ages to do it; yet, you have done it at such a young age.”

Silver_Uchiha: “We did not awaken the Gofuuungan, someone called J-sama gave us a temporary Gofuuungan, if he didn’t I’m quite sure Team Sephiroth would be dead by now.”
White Shinobi: “J-sama, huh?” *thinks to himself*“I haven’t heard that name in quite a while… I wonder why he returned…”
Iruka: “It seems many people are somehow ‘returning’ to the Village like, FirelordSokka, J-sama…”
Grand_Hokage: “What about that Sharingan Leader guy?”
Silver_Uchiha: “Yeah, I wonder what he is doing here… but he stated he wasn’t from the Shadow Country… I wonder who he really was…”
White Shinobi: “Sharingan Leader… the name sounds familiar.”

::In the Genkage’s Office::

Bob-sama: “So… I understand that J-sama has made his appearance?… very well, I hope I can convince him to aid us in this… it seems that the organization that FirelordSokka is in has gained quite a bit… out of this whole commotion… I will deploy the K.A.E.B on all possible entrances and keep the Shannaro perimeter under surveillance… this means that there will be no more missions for a while… not until we track down this organization.”

Iruka: “Genkage-sama, I think we deserve to know… I know you’re hiding something from us… the K.A.E.B must’ve sent you some valuable information by now…”

White Shinobi: “I must agree with my students, Sandaime-sama… neither am I informed of all this situation…”
Bob-sama: *sigh* … I wanted to keep this a bit of a secret… since I didn’t want to cause more turmoil through the villagers… but I have to tell you … The K.A.E.B. squads that I have sent have found valuable information… this secret Organization is called “KUROGYOUTEN” ( Dark Dawn )… they’re purpose… or what we know that this purpose is… to take down this form of government, and replace it with their own… therefore the Daiymio’s life, and my own, are in danger… but since the Civil War… the Kurogyouten lost most of it’s members… and are trying to bring them back… supposedly through a Ressurection Jutsu… thus their targets are genin’s… that will be the hosts of the ressurected members…

Grand_Hokage: “But why don’t they take Chunin’s or Jounins’ as the hosts… ?”
Iruka: “Probably because Genin’s area easier to fight against…”
Bob-sama: “That I have thought also… Genin’s are easy targets for the Kurogyouten”
Silver_Uchiha: “We are a target then?“
Bob-sama: “The KuroGyouten won’t get you… not while you are protected by me, the K.A.E.B., Jounins, Chunins, and the Villages’s fortifications… I suggest you get this out of your mind… or stress will get the better of you… I also suggest you should go get some rest…”

Later, in the evening…

Joey hears something, so he wakes Bill and Stan to look downstairs… they watch a shinobi with a K.A.E.B. mask fleeing, having kidnapped a few Academy students… but he see’s Team 3’s genin’s watching so he uses a genjutsu, Team 3 falling asleep… after awhile they wake up at an unknown location and three shadows are watching from a distance…

Bill: “The guy on the left is FirelordSokka who are the rest?”
Stan: “What are they doing ?”
Joey: “They’re taking the Academy students and placing them in the middle of a circle of blood… What kind of jutsu is that?!?!”
Stan: “Is that the blood of the Academy students?”
Bill: “We need to get away, before this happens to us…”
Joey: “They are doing handseals… look! they are bringing someone back from the dead and the academy student dissapeared!!!”
Stan: We have to run!!!

FirelordSokka turns back: “You three are next… don’t take it personally… it’s just business… the kids try to escape… but FirelordSokka puts the kids to sleep with a genjutsu, cuts their hands for blood, and makes three other circles of blood …Team 3’s genin’s are dead… in their place come 3 former members of the Kurogyouten…”

…Back in Shannaro Village they find a couple of dead KAEB members, dead.

K.A.E.B. member: “They assassinated 2 K.A.E.B. members, quick go tell the Genkage we have traitors in our ranks…”
…but then the Kurogyouten members return and kill the KAEB who stayed behind, but the other K.A.E.B. runs off to alert the Genkage”

FirelordSokka: “Damnit, now they know we’re here… no time to hide then… KILL, KILL, KILL!!!”

At the Genkage’s Office, the KAEB member that got away from the Kurogyouten, tells him: “Genkage-sama, We found 2 dead KAEB members, my partner was killed by the Kurogyouten, i think they are all here…”

Bob-sama: “WHAT?! Send all the ANBU, Jonin, and KAEB to the place where you found them! I will put the Village on Alert State,these are times of crisis we are facing!”

White Shinobi: “Grand_hokage, Iruka, Silver-uchiha, quick get out of your bed! The village is under attack!!”
Grand_Hokage: “What??!! Let’s go!!!”
White Shinobi: “Wait, I can’t expose you to the KuroGyouten…”

::Then Chaos storms inside : “My team is gone !!!”

“Sephiroth is gone too!”, said Sothe who came in… “but his team is still here so I took them with me.”

White Shinobi: “We lost 4 people??!!”
KakashiDa6Kage: “Can I replace one?”
Sothe: “We need all the help we can get…”
ZepWolfX: “So we’re just gonna wait here, or attack them?”

…someone appears by the window… it’s J-sama…

J-sama: “Heh… times of war… is peace too much to ask?… seems you guys need help…”
Chaos: “J-sama… long time no see… we needed your help in this… you’ve found a great time to come back…”
J-sama:“Seems so… but as much as I want to stay and chat… we have a village to protect.”
Chaos: “Let’s Go!!!”

When they get outside they see shinobi fighting… buildings burning… children hiding from the heat of the battle…

Sothe: “Shannaro has become a battlefield!!!”
Chaos: “They are heading to the Energy Tower…”
White Shinobi: “They must be looking for a strategic point… Let’s go!”

Wait!!! said someone beside them… When they look behind they see Bob.

J-sama: “Long time no see, Sensei!!”
Bob-sama: “So you’ve finally come back… good to see you again”
Sothe: “We’ve assembled a good enough team… i think we should move out”
Chaos:” Wait, are they fleeing?”
J-sama: “Why aren’t they using that pesky Void jutsu…”
Sothe: “Who cares let’s go after them!!!”
Bob-Sama: “Wait, they want us to follow them… this must be a trap…”
J-sama:“But we must kill them now… Otherwise they will return, larger in numbers… and more powerful… LET”S GO!!! “

…It aint stopping here yet! More next week!…
